COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS

The Humane Society Hastings Prince Edward runs Community Outreach Programs that promote and enhance the bond between humans and animals. These initiatives include education programs to improve pet ownership and community programs that facilitate the interaction between local residents and animals. Some activities include school and youth center visits, public information campaigns, and a No Hot Pets Program that advocates against leaving pets in cars during hot weather. Another notable program is the Emergency Public Education and Training (EmPEThy) Program, funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, which provides companionship and fosters emotional and social skills in at-risk populations using animal-assisted therapy. These efforts aim to enrich the lives of residents while also benefiting the animals in the shelter.
